I didn't think pinball would work on such a small screen, but I was proven wrong by Zen Pinball 3D. The biggest drawback is the age of the tables, but the core mechanics provide fun and addictive pinball on the go.

While not a high water mark for pinball games, Zen Pinball 3D delivers on every one of its promises. This seven dollar 3DS game features four exciting stages, online leaderboards and an achievement system that will keep you coming back for more.

Zen Pinball 3D offers four tables to be played : Excalibur, El Dorado, Earth Defense! and Shaman. Too bad those aren't new from the XBLA and PSN versions, and that the comfort of the 3DS screen isn't really one that suits certain camera angles. But the game still remains a good flipper title, with fair visuals, and once its 3D has been tamed, it's a good companion for nomad players who love to get extra balls.

I used to be a big pinball arcade fan back in the day when they were still popular. I've also followed the growing genre of video game pinball ever since 3D pinball came with Microsoft Plus! 95 for Windows. Zen Studios is definitely one of the best at creating these fun virtual pinball machines and I am looking forward to their future releases. I highly recommend this if pinball is one of your favorites. My nephew on the other hand isn't much of a pinball fan and this didn't change his mind about it. So I recommend to just try a demo or read more about it before purchase if you're not a big fan of pinball in general.…Expand

ZenZen Pinball 3D brings classic pinball gameplay to the small screen in 3D. It adds a lot of depth to the intricate detail in the tables. Zen have done an excellent job with the graphics, with every nook and cranny beautifully done. Where Zen Pinball falls short is in the sound effects- I hate hearing that same annoying voice going on all the time. On each table, there are several secrets, which is great, but it's hard to know what's going on while you reach these special areas, especially when you control additional flippers in a minigame. This isn't helped by the distant camera. As would be expected, there are online leaderboards, which greatly increase the replayability. Zen Pinball 3D doesn't do much to make pinball appeal to wider audiences, but it is very much quality pinball, and a must-have for pinball fans.…Expand

I think its the best game in the e shop. Pinball work great in 3d. The only two flaws I saw were 1) only four tables, and 2) pinball is confusing (maybe just because Im new to it) and the scoring is weird and seems to be more about luck. Still, its a fairly fun, very addictive game that works well on the 3ds.…Expand
